Favorite Place to Visit

If you ask any traveler they all have that one place they love to go back to, or even make it their home. For me, it was Ireland. From the moment I looked out the airplane window and saw those emerald mountains stretching as far as the eye could see, I knew from that point there would be no place I'd love more. Don't get me wrong, I still love visiting new countries but every trip I go on from now on I will stop back in Ireland for a few days just to soak it all in again. People always ask me why its my favorite and I always tell them the same thing, the music is amazing, the people are super friendly, scenery is spectacular, and the pub food is to die for! Every time I go back (I've been 3 times now) I see and do something new. The first time I went my whole family was there because we took the trip for my grandmothers 70th birthday. On that trip we rented cars and stayed in Southern Ireland in a place called Durrus Bay. It was this lovely house on the bay that the most beautiful living room with a huge window that overlooked the farm and bay. We were there for ten days and drove all around southern Ireland and stopped in many different towns such as, Queenstown, Kinsale, Kilkenny, and Cork just to name a few. We saw so many sheep, drank countless pints in many different pubs and met some very interesting people along the way. The next two times that I was in Ireland I went by myself. I stayed in Dublin this year and Galway last year. When I wanted to get out of the city feel I just took bus tours out to see the countryside because that is clearly the best part of Ireland. Last year I took an amazing bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher and if you've never seen pictures you should really look it up! Or you could go see it for yourself :)! The view is breathtaking, something you will never forget. There are posts saying not to walk past certain points because they are not responsible for what happens to you beyond that, but of course I passed it because thats where you get the best pictures! It did get a little nerve racking at first but once you got past the cliffside and onto a walk path you were okay, just don't get too close to the ledges because the are known to break off randomly. There's so many more things I could tell you about Ireland but I will leave you here for now, hopefully one day you get the chance to go and visit for yourself!
